Hi, I also see a problem similar to this: when I connect to a Linux-VM on an OVirt cluster from a Windows client the composing of special letters does not work, examples: "AltGr + q" to get the "@"-sign or "AltGr+8" for "[". some more points: - Keyboard-Layout is "german" - the bug seems to be specific to multi-monitor setups (single screen works) - It is possible to get the keys working by just moving the mouse to the top center of the screen until the remote-viewer panel shows up. After this the keyboard works until you switch the focus to another screen. - only Linux-VMs seem to be affected, Windows-VMs work cu, Uwe We are sorry that we were not able to respond to and resolve this bug when it was first reported. Given the amount of time that has passed since its report, we are closing this bug to reduce the backlog of issues that are unlikely to be addressed. |
Description of problem: I cannot type the characters @ and | using virt-viewer on windows on a german locale with a fedora 17 vm with german locale setting with Spice as the protocol. Linux Mint exhibts the same problem, so I guess it's the virt-viewer Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.54 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Virt-Viewer 0.54 on Windows with a german keyboard setting 2. Install Fedora 17 on a VM and switch it to a german keyboard setting 3. Connect to it, log into X 4. Open a console, enter Alt-GR Q and Alt-GR < Actual results: no output on the console Expected results: Characters @ and | are shown Additional info: The Euro-Sign € (Alt-GR E) works fine as do all the other special characters like äüöß. I guess it's a similar bug as #871125 as without the patches from that bug (libspice*.dll) I didn't even get € or äöüß.
